Making Therapy Affordable

Almost everyone is going through more difficult financial times then they can ever remember, and when our relationship is in trouble as well , it places additional stress on us. To handle this important issue, I have developed four ways that we can work together to try and minimize the cost and for it to be more affordable for your budget.

Firstly, I have asked several therapists to join me,  their fees range from $60 (25  minute  session) to $185 (50 minute session), depending on which therapist you see.

Traditional Session       $185  (50 minutes)

Jump Start                 $370   (100  minutes)

Secondly, you can see your therapist every other week and this can also help reduce your expenses.

Thirdly, whenever possible, we try and focus on short term work. My average number of sessions for couples range from 7 to 9 meetings. In certain situations it could take fewer or more sessions. The more you work on the process the greater our progress.

Fourthly, as therapy progresses our meetings are further apart, which both tests how well things are going and spaces out the payment.

We also accept credit and debit cards.

Remember that when all is said and done, it’s not the expense of counseling– it’s what it costs if you lose the person you love, and that becomes expensive both emotionally and financially.

There is one more way to help make therapy affordable by progressing more quickly and delving into the problems in a more intense time wise way.  Even though initially Intensive Jumpstart Sessions are more expensive (two sessions), we can tackle the biggest problems first and still have time to move along to the other issues.  This can help us move forward much more rapidly and it becomes worth the investment.  To learn more
